Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch rips Gov. Scott on California trip

Boca Raton U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch, a Democrat, sent a stinging letter Monday to Gov. Rick Scott over his using California’s minimum wage hike to court businesses to Florida.

Deutch also aimed fire at Scott for spending almost $6,000 in taxpayer money on radio ads in California in advance of the Republican governor’s three-day trade swing to the Golden State.

“These advertisements demonstrate a disturbing callousness to the working conditions of so many minimum-wage Florida workers who are fighting to lift themselves out of poverty,” Deutch wrote.

“To put the cost of your wasteful, taxpayer-funded political statement into perspective, a minimum wage worker in Florida would have to work 18 weeks to pay for your advertisements attacking California’s minimum wage increase.”
